Men produce hundreds of millions of sperm every day, which means that the male germ cells are constantly undergoing cell division, increasing the risk of harmful mutations.Photo: iStock/Shidlovski It has previously been difficult to identify DNA mutations in sperm, as these changes are rare, and most sequencing techniques have a large margin of error. Now a research study led from Lund University,
